Like most mums and just busy women fullstop, I find it hard to fit in quality sewing time -- but I'm trying!
For me part of the fun of sewing is the whole process of finding an inspiration in terms of colour, style, texture etc. I'm always coming across beautiful inspiration on the net.

Pattern Lusting

As usual, I've been drooling over patterns and fabric more than I've been sewing. I got it into my head that I'd look great in a long-sleeved 1940s dress with shoulder pads -- I think it is the same part of my brain that has me convinced I'd rock a 1970s jumpsuit and not look at all like Muriel from Muriel's Wedding.

About Me

My mum taught me to sew and knit when I was younger. I used to make all my clothes as a teenager as a cost-saving exercise and they were pretty fast and dirty. I made a resolution in 2010 to pick up my sewing again with two main aims:
1) Increasing my skill level
2) Learning more about fitting

I'm a freelance writer when I'm not working in PR (which is now). In a previous life I worked in children's and educational publishing. I love and horde books, patterns, fabric and yarn. You'll probably see bits of all my loves creep in on this blog.
